Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.

About the role

Based in Alzheimer’s Society’s central London office the Film Content team are responsible for all the film and audio content the charity makes about itself. This can mean anything from a thank you to our fundraisers to an emotional story of a person living with dementia.

We are a small team that works with a whole range of people across the organisation and travel all over the UK meeting those working in our frontline services and those affected by dementia.

We tell real stories of those affected by dementia to help widen society’s understanding of the condition, support fundraising and bring in new supporters. Our team is one of the most in demand at the Society and holds an important role in all major campaigns.
